I think that's it. I'm fortunate that I'm not sweaty/smelly so I'm packing light on the shirts/tanks because I can re-wear + I'm bringing these Tide Travel Sink Packets which are pretty handy. Keep in mind I'm a shorter dude as well, so if you're over 5"10, your clothes might take up more space.
Same thing happened to me too :( I bought a luggage lock. Very small. 3 number combo (don’t make it 808 lol). Not hard at all to lock/unlock while you’re having fun. 6$ investment to hopefully save my belongings. I got the bright orange so I could see it easier.

Watch out for each other, fam!
I used to make use of cheap 3 digit luggage locks (horizontal type). e.g https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-1545DCM-Backpack-Luggage/dp/B00004SQLQ/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1506001673&sr=8-31&keywords=luggage+lock
If you're getting them shipped to you, FFL.
If you're going to take custody of the firearms and transport them yourself, start here:

Get these: (or similar, make sure they're TSA approved to save hassle should your luggage be checked post initial screening)
Forge TSA Locks 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015T9KQ1Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_n7TRzb6J1MS4T
If you have further questions, contact the TSA directly as they're going to potentially be the ones giving you a hard time, but I've never had an issue flying with my firearms. Just make sure they're unloaded, and keep ammunition out of the equation for an added level of piece of mind.
I use these for all of my Pelican cases.

Theyre very good and they dont get fucked by most baggage systems.
From what I'm seeing how complicated this is from the other posters. This should help more

How much in Camera Gear are you carrying? Between my DSLR and lenses I can sometimes travel with over $10k in gear on me so I usually only take what I need with me for the day and leave the rest back at the hotel. I use a travel safe bag to store my laptop and documents in my hotel room while out for the day.
Also, this same company that makes that safe makes camera straps. The camera straps have cable in them that makes them slash proof and they're very strong. As an added bonus you can take the strap off and lock it to a chair or the table while sitting for lunch. I use something similar also.
Do you have renters or home owner's insurance? I added some additional insurance onto my home owner's policy to protect my camera gear, it was pretty cheap. Now I travel and don't worry about theft too much, I'm still cautious but it takes a lot of the worry away knowing I have replacement insurance.
World Nomad also sells travel insurance and they protect gear and camera equipment and electronics that most travel insurance policies exclude.
May make sense to store everything you want to keep in your car or in your tent with one of these on your zipper: https://www.amazon.com/Tarriss-TSA-Lock-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00Q0PACEI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1497031007&sr=8-8&keywords=tsa+locks
This is a big worry for me, as it's my first camping festival. I'm getting a locker for the phone or any other small valuables. The recurring paranoia I have is coming back to your tent to find all of your clothing gone, with nothing to wear for the weekend (or a fairly decent sleeping bag, as well). Festival veterans, how likely of a scenario is this? Should I make long hike, daily, to the car for a change of clothes and supplies? I did buy this locking net, but it really needs a tree to attach to. I could probably loop it around a cooler and lawn chairs though. Thanks for any input.

PS: You can also get a tiny combination luggage lock and put it on your purse or backpack if it has double zippers. It is kind of like closing the barn door after the horse escaped, but will allow you some peace of mind if you don't have private lockers at work.
Ding ding ding!
I even think this would work.
get a retractable cable lock to secure the lid while food is being cooked. Run the cable through the lid/handles
Here you have my friend
I bought a GA Gray Vibebration. Completely regret not buying the Pandamonium, which was my first pick. But I decided not to stand out in the crowd or when I go hiking. They have a great fit, not too big and not too small.
The bladder that they come with are very thin and I personally wouldn't use it. I swapped mine with one of my Coleman 2 liter bladders and it fits perfectly. The Coleman's mouth piece has a noticeable click when you pull it open to drink and when you close it. The vibedration mouth piece just slides with no click, it could leak water. The only draw back that these packs don't have is a key loop inside the top seam on the GA version. It makes it kind of weird because the bladder that Vibedration provides has a slit at the top for you to be able to hook it to where there should be a key loop inside of the top seam.
I also bought a Tarris wire luggage lock and it fits perfectly through both zipper handles. I attached a metal key ring to the zipper for the bigger compartment to give some leeway for the lock.
There is a 10% off code I found just today. I wish I could have used it to order when I did on Tuesday.
EDIT: I'm going to put the bladder in the outside most compartment. I'm going to put all of my important belongings in the inside most pocket with a quart sized ziplock. That way, my belongings are pressed against my back. It gives more peace of mind to know where my stuff is and not worry about if my bag gets slashed open.
You can see on my other hydration pack, it has a loop inside the top seam with a clip.
